NATIONAL IMMUNIZATION
PROGRAM
 TETANUS TOXOID IMMUNIZATION

Neonatal Tetanus is one of the public health concerns that we need to

address among newborns. To protect them from deadly disease, tetanus toxoid
immunization is important fro pregnant women and child-bearing age women.

Both mother and child are protected against tetanus and neonatal tetanus.
A series of 2 doses of Tetanus Toxoid Vaccination must be received
by a woman one month before delivery to protect baby from
neonatal tetanus. And the 3 booster dose shots to complete the 5 doses
following the recommended schedule provides full protection for both
mother and child. The mother is then called as a “Fully Immunized Mother”
(FIM).

IMMUNIZATION

•The EPI was launched in

July 1976 by the DOH in
cooperation with WHO and
UNICEF.
•The original objective was
to reduce the morbidity and
mortality among infants and
children caused by the
seven childhood diseases.
